Chapter 3 The Alpha

12:15 am

Redblood pack

Alpha office

"I am afraid Alpha, I bring along a bad news"

The gamma of the pack says, making Alpha Logan to drop the quill on the sheet of paper.

Sitting back,he gives the gamma ,all his attention.

"Speak"

His voice cold and domineering,making the gamma to tremble slightly.

"The attack on the silvermoon pack was a failure."

The Alpha raises an eyebrow at him ,surprised with the news.

Not expecting it.

"What happened? Get me the Beta."

The gamma shifts his feet in anxiousness, how was he supposed to tell him this?

"Alpha Logan..I am afraid..we had it covered. The women and kids were captured and even the late Alpha's daughter agreed. But then we lost the mindlink and when we reached with back up...they all were found dead .Including Beta Ron"

Alpha Logan stared at the gamma in silence. Nothing was evident on his face, except the cold look he always has.

The gamma tries to continue.

"The Beta's throat was slit with a knife and all others have died with the same knife. We suspect th-"

Logan lifts his hand , making the gamma to shut his trap.

With hands behind his back and eyes lowered the gamma gulps.

"Were my instructions not clear?"

The gamma Ben knew what this was about.Beta Ron was a cunning bast***. He never followed the instructions clearly and made him liable to the Alpha.

He was relieved to some extent that he was dead now.

He remained silent and that's when Alpha Logan roared at him.

Letting out his anger finally.

"One task. I give you guys one simple task to negotiate with that woman and acquire her territory. And you couldn't do that!"

"And what's with this enslavement? Did I asked you to enslave the women and children? Wasn't I clear when I said I don't want weak women and children brought back here!"

"They were to be asked to leave the territory. Kill them or turn them rogues,I don't care. But what's this bullshit of capturing them!"

Ben gulps. Alpha Logan has deep rooted hatred for the weak.No females other than mate's of the pack members were allowed to enter their pack.

And this rule has not changed in years, making their pack to be the strongest in the world.

"I am sorry Alpha Logan. My apologies. But it was Beta Ron's order."

Logan slams his fist on the table,getting up from his seat.

"That bast***! He always had to double cross me. If it wasn't his father's contribution to this pack,I would have myself killed him already.

Anyways, how many men have we lost ?"

"72 in total Alpha. All dead,no survivors"

Logan nods, picking up his tuxedo from behind his seat.

"As the women were envolved, I suspect it was him again.The way they were killed,this is his style of killing for sure"

"The Rebel?"

"I am afraid ,but yes Alpha. The Rebel was their saviour"

Logan looked in deep thought. This was the first time Rebel has envolved in his business.

Being a top member of the council ,he has heard a lot about him.

But as they say, no one has seen him.

He wanted the Silvermoon pack territory at any cost in order to achieve the golden seat in the council.

His goal of challenging the Alpha King's title very near now.

He has to negotiate with the females ,if it has to come to this.

And he was willing to do it.

"Make arrangements Ben , we leave for Silvermoon tonight. Inform them of our arrival."

The gamma looked at him in shock. He never meets people personally, especially women.

"But Alpha..are you sure? They may not be willing to negotiate after what happened. Also we don't have a Beta now,who will take the second command?"

Logan stops at the threshold,staring back at him.

"Don't ever question me Ben. And far as the beta position is concerned,you are the new Beta of Redmoon pack"

Ben looks at him in shock. Not able to believe if this is real. He thought the Alpha hated him,but then again Alpha hates almost everyone with passion,or this is what everyone thinks of him.

"Yes Alpha. Understood. Thank you"

He says bowing and with one last glance at him,Logan was gone.

Ben sighs in relief, cleaning the drops of sweat gathered on his forehead.

The females better agree to his terms tomorrow,or god knows what will happen if he unleashes his beast tomorrow.

If Alpha Logan was scary,his wolf form was death.

As after all ,he was not an ordinary wolf.

He was a pureblood Lycan ,who lives on only two things.

Power and respect.

............................................

"You can't leave us now!"

Rosie said, looking at Vera in desperation and disbelief.

She helped them till now,she just can't leave them in between.

"See girl, I made it clear beforehand. I save you and leave'

"But Vera! The Alpha is visiting! He is a member of the council ,he will no way let us win over this,we have killed his Beta and warriors for god sake! How will we justify ourselves? You have to save us from this! Please!"

Vera sighs and rolls her eyes, doubting her decision of helping them and getting involved in this mess.

"What can I do?"

Rosie pulls out a seat and makes her sit on it. Holding her hands in her,she nearly pleads him.

"I want you to be the Alpha of this pack. We owe our lives to you and you deserve this position."

Vera pulls out her from under her grip,looking at her in disbelief.

The idea itself repulsive for her.

With packs come duties and responsibilities. And she preferred being alone and free willed.

She can't agree to this.

"Please Vera. You have it in you! You can the first female Alpha. Plus we all will be respected and protected under you! Please!"

Vera gets up from her seat ,moving her head in a no.

Rosie was calling after her but she refused to stop.

She stepped outside to be surprised.

Women and children in hundreds ,surrounded the place.

Bowing their heads for her.

Acknowledging her help and thanking her for saving their lives.

"Alpha Vera! Alpha Vera! "

They started shouting in unison and Vera looks back at Rosie in disbelief.

She has mindlinked them.

If this was not enough,little Amelia hugged her from behind. Stopping her from taking another step.

"Please. Don't leave us to die"

And that was the last straw.

Vera may look heartless ,but her heart does beat for the protection of helpless and weak.

Picking up Amelia in her arms,she smiles at her and turns towards everyone.

"I agree"

Cheers and cries of happiness surrounded her. As people rejoiced their safety if not victory.

Rosie comes to hug her, too happy to stop herself.

Amelia is asked to leave,as Rosie looks at her saviour in admiration.

"Vera! I mean Alpha! I am so happy,I can't tell-"

Vera stops her suddenly.

Her next words making silence to follow.

"But I have a condition"

Rosie looked anxious but still nodded. Ready to do anything for Vera to agree to this.

"No one is to know that I am the Rebel Rosie. Only you know."

Rosie nodded ,she understood her reasons, no one would have thought in their wild imagination that Rebel is a girl.

Women are considered weak and dependent.

Untill someone like Vera comes breaking this stereotypes and challenging the inflated egos of these high headed men.

Plus Alpha Logan is a member of the council and Rebel ,a most wanted criminal.

No way in hell will she let them find out that this girl in front of her.

Was the only figure of equality in this biased world.

Only hope of women in this male dominant world.

Their saviour

The Rebel
